Sunday Matinee

# Sunday Matinee | Krea 2

Character designs in clean flat colour with soft brushed edges, standing full-length on plain white like a page from an animation model sheet. Faces are round and rosy with big clear eyes and small closed-mouth smiles, sly or shy. The figures act. They look back over a shoulder, march, point a sword, tug a guitar strap. A goose, a cat or an owl often tags along. It does solo figures, couples caught in one small gag, and long line-ups of costumed casts, and it can draw a pale, lightly painted setting under a blue sky when you ask for one.

Trigger word: h0ss4ng

## How to use it

Start every prompt with h0ss4ng, . After that, describe the picture in plain sentences, the way you'd caption it:

1. The framing, if it isn't a plain standing figure ("full-length view of", "low view of", "high overhead view of", "a wide line-up of")

2. The face: hair, face shape, eyes, brows, nose, mouth, expression

3. The pose and what the hands are doing

4. The clothes, piece by piece, with colours

5. Any companion or prop, described by colour and shape

6. "Plain white background." Or a short, simple setting.

Leave out style words such as "anime", "cartoon", "flat colours", "illustration" or "character design". Leave out light and mood words too: "dramatic", "cinematic", "misty", "golden hour". The trigger carries the look. Those words pull Krea back toward its own glossy painted finish.

Example:

```

h0ss4ng, full-length view of a young woman with adult proportions walking to the right, looking back over her shoulder with a patient half smile. She carries a big pale yellow crescent moon over her right shoulder like a plank, steadying it with her right hand. In her left hand she holds a clipboard. She has a short wavy black bob under a navy peaked postal cap, a square face, wide-set dark brown eyes, thick straight brows, a broad nose and freckles. She wears a navy postal jacket with brass buttons, a leather satchel, navy shorts, grey wool socks and brown lace-up boots. A black cat trots after her, reaching up with one paw to bat at a small white star hanging from the satchel. Plain white background.

## Settings

Krea 2 Turbo: weight 1.0, 8 steps, guidance 1. Raise the weight to 1.2 if the finish turns glossy or the costume details go soft.

Portrait 896 × 1344, landscape 1344 × 896. Line-ups look best in a wide frame, 2:1 or wider.

## Tips

- Write "adult proportions" for every woman. The round faces and big eyes can make her read as a teenager, especially next to a tall man or a big animal.

- Give every face its own features in the brows, nose or mouth: thick straight brows, a long nose with a bump, ears that stick out, a dimple. Otherwise faces drift to the house face, a round-cheeked redhead with blue eyes. Small skin marks like moles often don't show.

- Smiles are the default. For a flat or bored look, put the mouth first and spell it out: "not smiling, her mouth pressed into a flat, tight line". "Unimpressed" on its own still gets you a coy smile.

- Name what each hand holds or does. Spare hands with nothing to do tend to float.

- Keep settings simple and daylit: a wall, a crossing, a beach, a meadow under a blue sky. Every training image is in daylight or on white. Night scenes work at 1.2 but fade the most.

- Keep lettering to one short word, or leave it out. Longer signs and mirrored text come out garbled.

## Training

24 hand-picked images, each captioned by hand with content only: framing, faces, poses, clothes, props and setting, with no style or light words. 20 of the 24 are figures on plain white, and four have painted backgrounds. Trained on Krea 2 Base with Civitai's trainer.
